Question Regarding 194 LEDs in Corner Markers

[mars2878]

I have had cheap polarity 194 led bulbs in my parking lights for a few years now. No hyperflash. Same bulbs in both my 99 c3500 & 99 suburban

Awesome, thanks mars. Looks like I'll be good to go as soon as the LEDs show up.

Situation update...

Those double sided 194 LEDs I ordered back in January finally showed up, and they do NOT work in the corner lights. I have no idea why that is, they work fine in other sockets. It's not a connection issue as I tried every possible combo of wiggling and repositioning them in the sockets. No go. Sucks because I have a ton of them now. Oh well...

I'm probably going to try these unless anyone has any other recommendations.

I like the look of those Alla 194 LEDs that @98chevy2500SS linked on the first page, but they're crazy expensive and I'm afraid they'd be noticeably brighter than the rest of my lighting on the front end. A stock 194 bulb only throws about 2 lumens so I don't want anything crazy bright.

I’m going to find the link and I’ll post the ones I use on my truck

Here is my front end. The turn signals are switchbacks. The corners are just regular leds non switch backs. And I have no hyper flash. I like em @df2x4

How much clearance do those have from the front of the lens in the corner lights? I was considering that exact design on the SBLEDs site but they're a tiny bit longer than a standard 194 which concerned me. There's not a lot of room in there.

I didn’t fully check the clearance I know there was some clearance left. It doesn’t sit on the lends. I purchased these cause I converted every 194 to led. Interior and exterior

Thanks. I'll probably go with the ones I linked a few posts back as they're a little shorter and probably not as bright, appreciate the recommendation though. SBLEDs rates the ones you linked at 95 lumens which is over 40 times brighter than a standard 194 bulb. Most of my other lights are still standard incandescent or halogen so I'm afraid those would stand out.

Convert it all to led lol
